    They want me to pay them for a game and then pay them for their AI to play it for me.

      and then pay them for completion of the game, and results are seperate cost, saves will be using AI which is another cost.

    It’s so hard to raise kids to turn off the light when they leave the room, with huge wastes of electricity like this just running rampant in the world.

      Yea, I used to clean the windows in office buildings and we’d go into a completely empty floor and all the lights would be on and the heat or A/C would be blasting. Then I’d be downtown at 4am shoveling snow and I’d look up and all the inside lights in those empty office buildings were still on.
      Then we’d get a notice to help conserve energy at home.

        Take this with a grain of salt because I have 0 knowledge, but Ive read that they do that to balance the grid. Power used at night is not an issue but home usage during peak hours is what cracks the grid.

          I’ve been told that before and I guess it makes sense, but maybe after the offices have been abandoned for over a year they could turn off the lights and lower heat -a/c on those floors during the day so the grid would have more capacity for residential.

    I would love to go back in time and show this to somebody who worked at the Nintendo Power Tip Hotline. They would be all like “oh shit, AI is going to take our jobs in the future?” not knowing that their jobs were replaced decades ago by autistic people with dial-up internet making GameFAQs txt files.

      I miss GameFAQs text pages. Now it’s YouTube videos stretched out to 10 minutes to explain 30 seconds worth of info.

    so they spent millions attacking and removing hackers from their games, only to allow AI bots to do it for a subscription fee…

    iran, can you blow up this data center while you’re at it?

    Yeah, on the networked virtual machine you will be playing it on because no one can afford the hardware to run games anymore.

    What’s the point then? I pay for a game that I’m not even playing just so, what, my numbers of “completed” games goes up?

    I’m someone who likes seeing the stats go up as I watch anime. But I do it naturally and over time. This AI idea is like if I were to start an anime, put it on auto-play while I sleep, and when I wake up it’ll be done, without me seeing a single scene.

    Just watch a movie at this point. I started playing old games because I was missing the feeling of staring at a screen for a solid minute with no idea how to proceed and having to figure it out for yourself, or repeating the same section again and again slowly conquering what seemed impossible on the first try.

    The example given in the article is trying to get a rare gem or something. I honestly think it would be pretty funny to see chatgpt try to get something truly difficult. I imagine that AI would be quite bad at precise, well timed and executed maneuvers.

        I could genuinely see it getting like one good stream on twitch, kinda like twitch plays pokemon, but I have some serious doubts that AI would be able to manage an achievement like that.

        Microslop might as well just start selling achievements. Even if AI was good at this task, its still redundant because you can give a digital achievement to anybody. Just another usecase in which AI is useless lol

          Fair, just like using gameplay changing mods achievements should be locked out for this.

    It makes me sad to see everyone trashing this so much. No one ever thought of it as a disability aid? I would love to have a system that would let me hand off strenuous parts to the AI so I could take over during less intense parts.

    Edit: Fuck you lemmy bunch of ableist twats.

      Games already have this. There’s almost always a difficulty setting, and one of those settings in newer games is often “story only.” You make decisions, but your character executes the fast-twitch stuff itself.
